Picked up the Flyzone beaver and added a couple things. Wanted the bush pilot look and found a couple stickers still waiting on a bigfoot hunting permit. Added the metal Alaska sticker, Also used twine and thread to make dock ropes and added foot grips on floats. I took 220 wet sand sanding paper and used stoch double sided tape. This is like regular scotch tape but stickie on both sides.Painted the anteneas black also. Just a few things to make it look scale. If you have any ideals let me know. This is a well built plane for the money.

Nice scale touches! It's amazing how much more 'depth' to the floats just a little bit of colour can add! Antiskid to the tops, and some warning stripes and the plane looks way better. Now, when you go to the extent Paul did on his..... well..... he had no choice but to super detail the rest of his airplane to match his floats! LOL

oh, ps... FYI your later comment on the engine in Pauls plane. The Beaver has a 'radial' engine. Rotary engines spin WITH the propeller, Radial engines are firmly bolted to the airframe and spin the prop. Most round engined WWI airplanes had rotary engines, while most post WWI to present are radial powered. Not trying to appear as a smart a.. just a clarification on terminology is all.

probably been asked before but what's a good 3 blade size and pitch for the stock motor. I just want the look, without losing too much performance. And yes I want to still be able to have enough thrust for float flying plz

I use a MAS 11x6x3 and get 275 watt of power and pulls 24 amp static.
I love the performance and you can see it on all my videos its not a problem on water at all.
